Coach Testimonials

" I wanted to thank you personally for the great experience that the team had with you at Mind to Muscle. Emir was an excellent leader for them, you pushed them physically and mentally to be resilient, and all of them had a great time with the winter training program. Many of them, including my own son, have remarked how much they learned and how much more they want to build strength training into their lives. Great job and very much appreciated; please extend my gratitude to the other coaches that worked with you."

" “I just wanted to say thank you for collaborating with us on our last program! The kids loved their workouts, Paul did an awesome job with them as always! “ "

" Mind to Muscle has always been our team’s choice for training due to their leading edge approach to training, having excellent coaches and always accommodating our schedules. The coaches that our athletes deal with directly, prepare players for the next level. Players have seen significant improvements in strength and performance while minimizing injuries. Over the last 10 months, the schedules have been continually changing with Covid rules & protocols, and they have been very accommodating while switching from in person to virtual workouts…all adapted to very quickly by M2M!"

" Our goal as an association is to promote physical, mental, social and technical development. This agreement helps us achieve the physical long-term development goals of our players, coaches and parents. M2M has been widely recognized as a leader in strength and conditioning for athletic development in our region, and we are certainly pleased to have them as our partner."

" I'm very pleased with the partnership between M2M and the Trojans. I'm seeing and hearing all great things. Thank you and the whole staff for doing such a great job for all of the athletes. "

" Things this year have been great - kids loved the sessions at your new team training facility. Once again, Greg was excellent. He really has a way of connecting with young athletes and keeping them engaged in the training process. The sessions were challenging but fun and the kids always left smiling. The concussion session was informative and highlighted some important symptoms to look for as well as outlining the proper return to play policies once concussion symptoms have been diagnosed. Great takeaways for kids just getting used to contact hockey (and their parents). Thanks again for another great semester, Brent "

" The Barrie Colts M.Atom AA team want to thank you for your help and dedication during the season and playoffs this year. The core exercises that were introduced at this age bracket has helped endurance, speed, agility, and power levels across the board. The introduction of the core muscles is extremely important at this age and need to be developed and understood by each player. I know our team benefited from the program and better prepared us physically to compete this hockey season, but your personalized training routine has also boosted confidence. Looking forward to working with you again."

" The best athletes are willing to do more than the mediocre athletes. The expert trainers at Mind To Muscle put together a sport specific program for the Barrie Storm girls softball team. The intensity of this program prepared these young elite athletes for their competition. We are proud to exclaim that this team finished 5th in Ontario. A huge thank you to the staff for their contribution to this success."

" I just wanted to let you know that our combine session for our Minor Peewee team last Saturday was very well received by both the players and the parents. Your dynamic trainers pushed the boys to excell. Their knowledge, energy and dedication impressed everyone involved with our team.The session did exactly what I was hoping: 1) plant a seed about the importance of off season training, 2) create some competition within the team, having players push each other, 3) bring the group together as they began to form that vital team bond necessary for success."

" Mind to Muscle and it's Staff are an extremely professional organization who very competently and efficiently completed Pre and Post Fitness Testing with my Bantam AAA hockey team. The boys were completely engaged throughout the whole process and were educated, as well, as to the purpose of each test. The Staff were very knowledgeable about the testing and it's implications for a hockey athlete. They are very dynamic and are completely connected with current research and literature of all aspects of sports physiology. I would highly recommend them for any sports organization who is seeking any aspect of testing and training."

" The Staff at Mind to Muscle are second to none. The training and assistance provided to our athletes and in many cases our children, assists them to perform at their highest individual levels. Our team has trained at Mind to Muscle for the past several years and the feedback is measurable. Not only from the work done by the staff, but it is measurable by their ability on the ice which can be contributed to the training at Mind to Muscle. To Rick and all of the staff, thank you for your continued support and we look forward to working with you throughout our season."

" We had a great experience with Mind to Muscle and your awesome trainers! Kids loved it (hardest a few of those kids had ever worked!) Can't thank Justin and Laura Ellen enough for their professionalism and enthusiasm with our group. We'll certainly be looking forward to sessions in the future. Next time I think we'll explore the pre and post fitness testing at your facility as well. Thanks a bunch- what a great start for our new program."
